Gradually, I got used to playing my favorite audiobooks on computer at night to help me fall asleep quickly. This case, one of the problems I have to face is how to turn off my computer when I fall asleep. In fact, it is enough to satisfy my needs by simply executing a shutdown command like "shutdown -s -t 3600" or "at 23:30 shutdown -s -t 0" in CMD, or saving it as a batch file and putting it on the desktop to make it easy to execute. But it seems that we are always more inclined to do this job by looking at the GUI. So, I again searched around for several auto shutdown apps, and AutoShut is the only one that caught my eye in this round.

In some conditions, we need/want to close the monitor's power immediately (lowering the screen's brightness is meaningless), rather than waiting for the computer to enter its power saving mode and then do this for you. Note that, empty or pure black screen saver can not achieve this effect, because any screensaver obviously becomes very bright in dark environments.

EasyShutSys is a auxiliary tool for timing shutdown under Windows. It enables to delay some time (n minutes) or at the user-set time (specific to a certain moment) to execute shutdown, restart or log off.
